Message: <blockquote data-quote="Redclaw" data-source="post: 4186889" data-attributes="member: 53791">d'Anconia-- I like the drawing, and the location of the bridge is perfect for my vision of Eldan's family's responsibilities.  I would suggest moving the castle, however.  Most cities grew up around castles, so that I would expect the city to spring up on the same side of the river as the castle, and the city walls would likely enclose the castle.  That's a much more defensible build, in case of a siege.  Instead I would suggest that the castle be in the largest section of the city, the one with the bridge going across the river to the section on the other side.  That 'quarter' could be the most influential area of the city, with the nicer houses and the buildings connected to running the place (possibly including the entrance to the food storage, etc).  The area just to the south would seemingly be the residential area for the farmers and other laborers.  A spartan neighborhood with little to provide comfort, but well-cared for and clean.  I think the names for the neighborhoods should be degraded versions of straightforward titles (like Noeblem, from Noble's homes, for the wealthy section), but nothing I'm coming up with is quite right.As for the other areas, I like the idea of at least one being effectively abandoned.  Nobody lives there any more, and in fact nobody realizes that its abandoned.  My first thought is that the lone portion of the city across the river would be the ideal 'ghost-quarter', but I think any of them could work.</blockquote>
